I'm under a lot of stress now. It's getting worse. I'm getting sick from it.
A couple days ago, at the store, I had a major problem, and tried to get home. I was doing bad and was afraid to drive on the major roads. So I took side roads and residential streets and drove at a very slow speed, trying to get home, but it didn't work. I had a couple cars lean on their horns that my speed was a problem. Then, when I almost caused a major accident cutting someone off when I made a turn, I pulled right off the road.
There were a couple women in a restaurant parking lot where I'd stopped, and I asked them for help. I said my husband wouldn't take my calls, would they call him for me and say I was having bad trouble and needed a ride home.
One of the women told me to turn off my car and not try to drive again. Car off, yes, right. He ignored their calls at first, but finally answered and agreed to get me and take me home. Before they left, one of the women said to dial the police if he didn't come. I guess she meant for an ambulance.
I've spent a couple days vomiting and having diarrhea -- and afraid to drive.
The conditions at home are bad bad bad. I'm not managing.
I'm sorry for posting and then not responding. I'll do my best today.

No need to apologize. I'm so sorry you are going through this. You don'tdeserve to be treated this way. We have your back. Also sending positive thoughts and hugs.
There's an Oliver sized dent in that cushion. Now I don't have to worry about him falling off the couch. He's quite the little character but I love him.
You did good having the ladies call for you. My heart goes out to you as I know trouble with driving while having panic attacks and this trouble you had seems similar to that maybe?
I hope you are feeling safer now.
We are here for you and don’t worry about responding to us; do not stress about that.
I’m saying a prayer that the angels watch over you, beautiful friend. I wish I could hug you in real life ((((((((((((hug)))))))))))
You have said that your husband is not well. As this is the case, you will be able to count on him less and less as time goes by. I think it is imperative that you work on trying to make alternative plans. I believe I have suggested this in the past and I wonder if there is a reason you are unable to look into alternatives. The current situation. is not good for your physical or mental health.
Talk to a psychiatrist, emergency room physician, police, etc. You are being abused and I understand that you feel helpless to act. There are groups and services that help abused and (as you say) traumatized people to find better situations. If things are as bad as you indicate - that is, you are starving/living on ensure, in constant pain and unable to leave your house, there is help available for you. Personally, I would start with the emergency room of a major hospital. When they see that you are malnourished, physically and mentally in pain and unable to help yourself in shopping for and cooking meals, etc., I think some help will be forthcoming. Hospitals, at least in the US are not allowed to release patients back into extremely unsafe conditions. I hope you can find some help.
Trying to do anything counts...Achieving the goal deserves a "high 5"
I just closed the lights outside...Another busy year with Trick or Treaters.
Tonight is my time to relax and breathe.
I suggest you do the same my friend xx
Oh boy. I know you’re going through a lot. I know you must be very stressed out. Have a cup of chamomile tea or some warm cocoa and just breathe. Listen to some music that calms you down or soothes you. I like to listen to classical music sometimes. Stuff like Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven or Greensleeves. And I know I sound like Scarlett OHara or something, but tomorrow is another day. Take a break and chill out.
I appreciate the well-wishes. The doctors haven't figured out what's going on. It's my fault too, I'm not good about repeat doctor visits. So it keeps happening when I'm very stressed.
I know what you mean, I hate going to the doctor’s at the best of times but hopefully they will realise how stressed you are and will be able to give you something to take the edge off it a bit…xx
I've got a prescription that's supposed to help, but since the generic version that helped me has been discontinued, the new one doesn't help much and has worse side effects.
